Gerard de Furnival (c.1175–1219) was a Norman knight and Lord of Hallamshire (now 
part of Sheffield, England) and Worksop. De Furnival's father was also called Gerard 
de Furnival, and had fought with Richard I at the Siege of Acre.

De Furnival was married to Maud, the great-granddaughter of William de Lovetot, and 
it was by this marriage that the lordships of Hallamshire and Worksop came into the 
Furnival family. However, this inheritance was not without competition, as although 
the eldest branch of De Lovetot ended in a female heiress, there was another branch 
still existing, which sprang from the William de Lovetot, by his younger son Nigel. With 
the death of Maud's father (also called William de Lovetot), the rights of this branch 
were vested in Maud's cousin, Richard de Lovetot, who seems to have acquiesced in 
the transit of the great property of the family to Maud, her husband, Gerard de 
Furnival, and her issue.

During the Fifth Crusade De Furnival travelled to Jerusalem, where he died in 1219. 
He was succeeded by his son, Thomas de Furnival, who also subsequently died in the 
Holy Land (1238).
